Machining of Light Alloys: Aluminum, Titanium, and Magnesium

Aluminium, magnesium and titanium are alloys of special interest for engineering applications in a wide range of sectors such as aeronautics, automotive and medical. Their low density, along with sufficient mechanical properties, makes them especially adequate for sectors such as transportation allowing diminishing weight less fuel consumption and emissions to the atmosphere.

Nowadays, machining is still one the most important manufacturing processes, not only for metal parts, but also for s...
